When was the last time we had a first rounder inked by day 1 of camp?

Heap was the last....2001.
From the Sun :
The Ravens are trying to end a long run of holdouts. Their past six first-round picks - Ed Reed (2002), Terrell Suggs (2003), Kyle Boller (2003), Mark Clayton (2005) and Haloti Ngata (2006) - all missed time in training camp because they didn't sign contracts before camp began.
The last Ravens first-round pick to report to camp on time was Todd Heap in 2001.

The Sun news is old news. My guess is Aaron is saying he is not officially "signed". He has agreed to the contract just has not signed it. That's seldom a deal with a healthy draft pick, as physical etc. should not prove to be an issue (if they even need to give him one, I don't know).
Everybody involved in this in the media wants to be the one that "scooped" the story. It's what helps them get people to pay them money for reporting the official story 1 hour before everyone else. :crazy:

Aaron just confirmed Grubbs AND McClain have both signed. All draft picks are taken care of!
Well that is good news.
Now I still want to know why this all can't be done within 2-3 weeks AFTER the draft.

Greg, I agree with you. Or why not have a slotting system like the NBA has and cut all of this BS out. You see NBA draft picks signing their contracts a week after they're drafted.

Agreed....that would be way too smart for the NFL to handle.
FYI...the Sun now has the official word (McClain too):
